nuclear waste

Try "spent nuclear fuel" instead. There's probably other stuff in there too like reactor components.

The fuel itself is just metallic looking rods in various states of corrusion so they may be grey-ish or whitish as well rather than shiny. Other items in the barrels can be contaminated building materials or soil, so bolts and nuts, odd metal bits, and dirt.

The barrels are often topped off with an anti-corrosive, neutron modulating liquid, but it depends on the contents, really.

Clothes and garbage bags and stuff at least that's what this nuclear museum showed.

Most ppl think that its rods only, but actually its pretty much everything.

Dead nuclear workers... Its the perfect burial ground, no body - no crime. Would YOU open one up?
The picture is from the Cumbrian town of Windscale, after a huge nuclear explosion - 'they' moved the reprocessing to a town called Sellafield - They told the world they were 'changing the name' of the town - And people actually went for it. Nowt so stupid as folks.

Barrels like the one in your picture contain a large amount assorted contaminate materials, but since the barrels are not shielded, they contain low level hazardous waste (still don't want to hang out around them for too long). In side those barrels you could find likely soil and other items that had to be cleared away after an accident.

Spent fuel dry casks are a differently story, and they look like pic related. Inside those, would be the decaying rods that have a greyish-white tarnished color. And the casks themselves are super shielded because, spent fuel rods will definitely kill you in proximity without a shield.

Yeah, materials used in a clean-up would go right in the barrel, as well.

Unless you are Russian, then you just leave them in the basement and shut down the hospital.

>tfw you really did think it was green goo inside until this thread

So wait does all this stuff include fission waste?
Is it the rods?
